Armed to the teeth to fight ARMS

Jordan moved his command post to the hospital today in preparation for the third round of chemotherapy, a protocol known as VCD+IE. You don't really want to know the names of these agents, do you? Ok then, the odd numbered rounds consist of Vincristine, Cytoxan, and Doxorubicin. The evens, Ifosfamide and Etoposide. While these heavy-hitters mount a devastating counteroffensive on the ravaging rhabdoblastic hordes, Jordan sustains unavoidable collateral damage. Along with the skillful medical care he's receiving, we boldly ask for your prayers for strength, comfort and healing in his behalf. In return, we ask God to reward you openly for your silent, sacred service.

What a delightful story of faith, hope, courage and the power of Prayers! You guys give ME the courage to "Carry On" and my problems are so small comparatively. You are always in our prayers and not far from our thoughts. Just let us know if/when you need another chocolate fix!

Jordan, I am a friend of your moms and through what she has shared for over a year have come to appreciate your sense of humor. Of late, I have come to see how you have such a will and strength. Be Strong! -Barb(abby76)

Hi Jordan, Brianna, and Bonnie,
My husband Matthew also has Stage IV ARMS. He is in the middle of his Ifos/VP16 chemo as I type this. Hopefully, we can share our experiences and strength to get through this. I look forward to learning more about you all through your site. Stay strong and keep fighting! - Amy & Matthew

stay strong, but be careful not to credit imaginary forces to your strengths and achievements.
